10 Coolest things in the world this week

Nike Air Max 2016

So that's the Christmas present sorted. Nike have released the latest version of their flagship trainer, the mighty Air Max. A pumped up midsole, integrated Flywire cables and engineered mesh upper to keep the foot cool make this another triumphant step forward.

The superyacht to end all superyachts. The winner of the 2014 Monaco Yacht Show, Solandge is designed by Espen Oeino with an interior by Aileen Rodriguez; she offers six extraordinary decks which boast a master stateroom with VIP suite, six guest rooms, the finest dining salon, a beach club, a pool, a cinema room and a spa. Why not set sail for some winter sun?

Save the planet stylishly. S'well bottles are made of double-walled, insulated stainless steel to keep your coffee hot for 12 hours and your wine for 24 hours. Reusable, unlike the plastic bottles in landfills and oceans across the planet.

Fancy flying to the edge of space in a MiG-29? Head to Russia's Sormovo Airfield for a trip usually reserved for the astronauts. Following a vertical take-off you'll smash through the sound barrier to a height of 80,000 feet. The views of the Earth should prove decent Instagram fodder if nothing else.

Mac and Wild pre-mixed cocktails

Renowned Scottish restaurant Mac & Wild has launched a range of ready-to-drink bottled cocktails. Featuring four classic blends with a whiskey twist, the cocktails use Scotland's finest whiskies and spirits married with complimentary flavours of the Highlands. The wax-sealed bottles will look a treat in your drinks cabinet.

Le Palais Royal

Fancy dipping your toe in the property market? America's most expensive home has just come up for sale.

A Florida version of the Palace of Versailles, Le Palais Royal is a generous 60,500-square-foot. Its extravagances are too numerous to mention but the marble staircase alone is worth over £1m and over £2m of gold leaf decorates the property. And there's six waterfalls. More than most houses have rooms.

4-in-1 bar tool

Now this is ingenious. Available from the Royal Academy of Arts, this stainless steel device contains a corkscrew, bottle opener, ice breaker and shot measurer. Perfect for those Christmas parties where everybody brings different drinks.

Ressence Type 5

Described as "the most legible diving watch ever", the Ressence Type 5 is certainly a striking wrist accessory. The beautiful, futuristic watch face is readable from any angle even many depths under the sea.

Frank Sinatra Has a Cold

100 years on from Frank Sinatra's birth, Taschen has released 5000 Collector's Edition copies of this central text of New Journalism and one of the greatest celebrity portraits ever written. Signed by author Gary Talese, these silkscreened hardcover editions are a must for the Christmas wish list. The legend is printed.

Phantom Wireless Speaker

A speaker worth shouting about. Weighing a hefty 23 pounds, the Phantom can play Hi-Fi, docks, speakers, cinema. It does multi-room. It's wireless. And it contains up to 3000 Watts and 105 Decibels of power. This is one Phantom that shouldn't scare you off.
